Why Sylvester Stalling Regrets the Religious Classic Battle Thriller

Rarely ten years was as closely linked to the cinema genre in pop culture as 1980s – these are ridiculous combat movies. The era of Sylvester Stallon, Arnold Schwarzenegger and their other stripes certainly goes well in the 90s, but 80th, where the big, delicious, sweaty, machine gun hero became the main product of cinema. Of course, like in any genre, there were the best and worst attempts to mark with this particular brand of the combat film. Titles such as “Terminator” and “First Blood” gave confidence in their muscular stars, evading the camp and absurdity for sci-fi drama with a high concept and a gentle political character, respectively. But then there were fewer artistic compound films like “Commando” Schwarzenegger and “Cobra” steel that came back in 1985 and 1986.

“Cobra”, in particular, became something of the iconic classics, to a large extent from its cartoon main character. In the film Stallone will play Lieutenant Marion’s “Kobra”, a member of the Los -Angeles Police Department, who carries aviators, chew matches, drives a chic eight 1950 and cuts pizza scissors. The movie is more “dirty mountain” than “Rambo”, and, according to the Stalon, it does not look too nice.

“” Cobra “for me was half baked,” Stallon confessed while talking at the Toronto International Film Festival (Via Koblo). “I could do better, but I’m not concentrated enough.”

Stallon was not just shot in Kobra; He wrote the script as he did when he broke into the Hollywood scene from Rocky. Formerly Eddie Murphy was thrown in “Beverly Hills Cop”, The studio led a discussion with the table to participate, but it significantly reworked the script to make it less comedy and more combat thriller. The version of the film was rejected, but Stallon continued to set up his premises until it ended with a score.

While the movie obviously has its creative fingerprints, Stallon thinks he would be more successful if he had even more involved in it, sending a vision from his page to the screen. “I felt as if I had to send it and I didn’t do it, and I regret it,” he explained during the aforementioned Tiff Talkback. “This is one thing to make movies besides watching your hair line, you go, ‘God, why didn’t I try anymore? “

Cobra was criticized and received six Razzie Nominations in 1987, including the worst picture and the worst actor at the table. Today it is definitely not regarded as one of Top Stall moviesBut it also managed to follow the pop culture for one reason or another. Fans of the genre still appreciate its absurdity, and it was even cited by both director Nicholas Vinicing Refn and Star Ryan Gosling for their critical thrillers 2011 “Drive”.

The constant popularity of “cobra” in certain circles seemingly believes that there is a merit, except that critics and steel think about the movie. But is it true? Are there a few lasting aesthetics and a few stupid classmates who just kept the movie in good merciful fans? Singer love “you are illness, and I treat” or “the law stops here, and I start” fun in my funnyness, although they are also practically plagiarized from the “dirty mountain”. Is it enough to keep this slash action whose plot I can still pronounce you after a few revisions?

Probably, the factor of the Cobra camp is something that has been a few in the culture decades later. In 2019, it was announced that Robert Rodriguez worked on a reboot “Koba”Although this project seems to have grown. The style of self-awareness of Rodriguez and the commitment to Grindhouse, B-filem style seems to be well suited for “cobra”, because irony has always been much why people like the original movie.

It is more difficult to deal with the 80th police cruelty brand today. Like many contemporaries in the police genre, Cobra has a sadistic, cultural type of gangster villain, which is so evil that it loses any resemblance to criminals in the real world. This horrible figure, which is poorly defined in the film itself, is used as a justification for Cobra to disrupt your own brand of non -professional violence by shooting in the process. That is, if there is a big problem with “Cobra”, then this is a problem with the genre in Larry. And yet, the most absurdity of the movie can be why it has experienced when other previous, more substantiated attempts to make the same movie that faded.
